SRAM XO Disc Brake

Description

Weight: 315 g. (Front or Rear)

This full featured brake can stop on a dime or be feathered with precision you have to feel to believe. At a lean 315g, XO packs a huge amount of power and control into a trim package tough enough for any trail surprises. An updated TaperBore design incorporates a new air-trap feature, which prevents potentially trapped air from entering the system, while the two oversized pistons give you more stopping power. Super light carbon fiber lever blade with forged aluminum body, aluminum hardware, pad contact and reach adjustments. Front and rear sold separately. Rotors are not included.

Hint for breaking-in:
New disc brake pads require a certain break-in period in order to provide the full brake power.
The following procedure has proved oneself: drag braking on a downhill until the brake power noticeably increases. Then let the brake rotor cool out. Afterwards do 20 full stops braking from a medium speed. Attention: the rotors get very hot, do not touch them!
